Why Guns Should Be Banned

Owning a gun is legal in the USA. Actually, it’s the second amendment. The USA has the highest civilian gun ownership rate in the world. US civilians own about 270 million guns, compared to about 3 million guns owned by the military and less than 1 million guns owned by the police, also in the USA. In 2009, gun deaths actually outraced motor vehicle deaths in 10 US states. The 20% of gun owners possess 60% of all guns in the USA.
Gun violence and gun control have been in the news a lot lately. This is because of the recent shooting in Newtown, Connecticut where 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot twenty children, six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School and his mother at their home. Later on…show more content…

The strongest argument is that there would be less murdering if the guns were to be banned. Somehow, it makes people feel safe if they own a gun. A lot of people argue that with the gun they are able to protect their family better if there were to be an intruder. I think that this is true, but I wonder how many times in your life you would have to grab the gun. Besides the fact that it is wasted money, it is also very dangerous to keep around children. I’ve heard that Adam Lanza’s mother didn’t keep her gun locked up. If she would’ve locked it up safely, she and the Sandy Hook Elementary School kids and staff wouldn’t be murdered.
Make gun owning and gun trafficking a felony, is my proposal. Like I’ve mentioned before, during the gun ban, that lasted 10 years, there were less mass shootings. I’m not saying this would prevent all shootings from happening, but it would be a step in the right direction.
Another option for Congress is creating better mental health system. This would be likely to reduce the amount and frequency of these tragic events. Most of the mass shootings are done by young men who are mentally ill or are struggling with themselves.

To conclude, guns are meant for killing, not for recreation. No matter what light you try to put it in, there is no reason to continue to fight evil with more evil. Guns need to be abolished, and peace promoted.
Guns are not a necessity for defense because there are non-violent, yet powerful,

influence the value of guns to the U.S. citizen. The top two are the Bill of Rights and personal safety, but another of the other idea discussed that would affect gun sales revenue is the possibility of a budding Black Market if there are stricter firearm laws implemented.
Due to increased violence, anti-gun activists, pricing and sales tax, an uninformed economist might view the demand for guns to be completely elastic. My opinion is that the civilian purchase and ownership of guns by United States….

As a fellow member of the Organic Consumers Association, I am eager to inform you of why genetically modified food is an issue that we must work to minimize or perhaps even abolish. I am excited to present this information to you, hopefully expanding your knowledge of genetically modified food. I hope that this conference will allow us….

Maria Gutierrez
University of Central Florida
Abstract
The debate about nurses having a mandatory dress code such as a specific uniform and color, (white or not) has been a hot topic lately. The majority of nurses love the freedom they have of choosing their own uniforms and expressing part of their identity and style; however, the….

Why Pornography Should Not Be Banned
It seems to me there are two ways of defending pornography. The first is pornography does not harm anyone, and so it should not be banned. The second is pornography can't accurately be identified between what pornography is and what it's not. With these two main points I will prove pornography should not be banned.
Pornography does not harm anyone. In mainstream pornography, all parties are willing participants. The women who….

The burqa should not be banned in Australia
A nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to god. But when a Muslim woman does the same she is being oppressed. It may be argued that wearing a burqa benefits only a few and brings more harm than good to society. The real question is who does it harm? That should be the basis for banning this piece of clothing, not one based on fear or an arguably feeble argument that the women do not have a choice. To say that a ban on a specific….

Argumentative Gun Control Paper
The issue of Gun Control has been on the minds of humans for hundreds of years. How do we protect ourselves and our loved ones? How do we keep such a dangerous weapon out of the hands of the wrong person? Inside the Second Amendment we are granted the right to Bear Arms. Having that amendment gives each person the ability to carry a weapon if they choose, so how can we control who should or shouldn’t carry?
According to an article evaluated from Kovandizic….

health hazard for smokers and non-smokers. Smokers should have the right to choose what to do with their own health but they should respect non-smokers. Many people believe that there are good and bad outcomes from smoking. I believe that smoking is bad and that it should be banned.
Many people think that smoking is a sign of coolness but in fact it damages the body. Cigarettes contain nicotine which is an addictive substance and that is why it is hard for smokers to stop smoking. Smoking can….

beginning the second trimester of pregnancy (Pauli, E., Haller, p. 110). People who stand against abortion insist that the law should ban any kind of abortions during second trimester but Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act deals only with the method of abortion and does not mention any time span. All arguments give by those, who support abortion are base on the idea that women should be able to make their own choices about their own lives. Proponents of abortion state that banning abortion will limit the….
